The symposium, closed to the public, is being hosted by economic development group Greater New Orleans Inc.

Sens. Mary Landrieu, D-La., and David Vitter, R-La., and Rep. Bill Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge, are expected to publicly speak about the meeting later this evening.

Among the topics expected to be discussed: how premium subsidies will be restored to homeowners paying full rates, who is eligible for premium refunds and the timeline for getting refunds and an update on flood mapping, according to GNO Inc.

The officials expected to speak at the session were to include FEMA flood insurance associate administrator David Miller. He was not present at the start of the session.
